Maybe Next Year

Times are a changing
 But I'm still the same ol' son of a bitch in the wind
 I act like I did back when I was a kid
 But it hurts me more than it did back then
 I go out on the town and make a fool of myself
 I run around with the same rowdy friends
 I get drunk and obnoxious
 And wake up the next day swearin' I'm never drinkin' again
 Yeah, my grandma still tells me
 Enough is enough
 Life ain't a game, son
 It's time to grow up
 [CHORUS]
 Maybe next year, I'll start acting my age
 Turn a new leaf over my wicked ways
 Get a real job and start pullin' my weight
 Only 365 days
 Until I change my ways
 I dress like a slob
 I never tuck in my shirt
 I let it hang over my baggy jeans
 I wear an old baseball cap on the top of my head
 With the logo of my favorite team
 Still got the same dirty mouth that I've had
 Since my first cousin taught me to cuss
 And I just quit my 9 to 5 occupation
 To play a whole bunch of songs I made up
 Yeah, I'm a big ol' kid
 But I ain't ashamed
 'Cause when the time comes around
 I know I can change
 CHORUS
 Maybe next year I'll quit blowin' all of the cash
 Start working out and get off of my ass
 Maybe next year I'll quit putting off all the chores
 Maybe next year I'll visit my grandparents more
 Maybe next year I'll go back to church and repent
 Maybe next year I'll pick up my Bible again
 I ought to straighten up
 And there's no better time than now
 To kick all the habits
 That are bringin' me down
 Maybe next year I won't be singin' the blues
 Maybe next year I'll start telling the truth
 Maybe next year I won't stay drunk all the time
 Maybe next year I'll have a little more peace of mind
 And maybe next year
 I won't be so sad when I'm alone
 Maybe next year
